The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 240
"Your Excellency, you mean that the people of Nantang want to take action against us?"

Lu Duan was a little surprised. Didn't the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty say that they would go to Bianjing to worship the Emperor of Song Dynasty together after they finished their work here? Didn't they want to go back on their word?
Liu Wei smiled lightly: "The main faction of the Southern Tang Dynasty is not a minority. It is very easy for us to have a war between our two countries. For example, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty killed the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty? What about the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty? It is not difficult to guess that there must be someone behind it, who can wipe out everything about a Southern Tang citizen. The person behind him cannot be from my Great Song Dynasty, so it can only be from the Southern Tang Dynasty. Tang's people."

"Your Excellency is saying that people from the Great Song Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty are colluding with each other?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, so we must be cautious and deter them."

After the two returned to the posthouse, Zhuge Pi hurriedly reported: "My lord, the investigation of the personnel of the main combat faction in the Southern Tang Dynasty has basically been done."

Liu Wei nodded: "Tell me."

"In the entire Southern Tang Dynasty, the biggest main faction is Zheng Wang Li Congshan, who almost became the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Because Li Jing insisted on Li Yu's enthronement, he became the prince. Although Li Yu was on guard against him, but But he is very shrewd, and his power in the court is so huge that even Li Yu dared not touch him for a while."

Li Congshan is the main combat faction, and Liu Wei already understood this in the process of contacting him, but thinking of the way Princess Ruyi looked at him, Liu Wei's heart sank secretly, thinking that since this is the case, he should look good to him sooner or later, It's just that he didn't understand, why Princess Ruyi looked at him like that?
"The main combatant among the generals is Lin Renzhao. This man is highly skilled in martial arts, and bold and careful. He has been persuading Li Yu to take back the land of Huainan captured by our Song Dynasty."

"……………………"

Zhugepi told Liu Wei the news he had heard in this way, and after saying this, he asked: "My lord, the main combat faction of the Southern Tang Dynasty indeed has the upper hand in the Southern Tang Dynasty. If they insist on standing, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Li Yu. stop."

Liu Wei nodded. He felt that what Zhuge Pi said was right. Although Li Yu was the lord of the country and had a cowardly personality, if the ministers of the DPRK and China insisted, there would be constant conflicts between the two countries. In addition, after the successful development of refined salt in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu would If I don't want a war, I'm afraid there will be a war between the two countries.

After thinking about it this way, Liu Wei showed a slight smile: "It's okay, I have my own way to weaken the strength of the main combat faction of the Southern Tang Dynasty."
-
Just after Liu Wei returned to the post house from the military camp outside Jinling City, Li Yu in the Southern Tang Palace was already walking around in the imperial study room like an ant on a hot pot, and in front of him, there were several people standing in the middle of the court. minister.

"This... Liu Weisi is a gentle person, and his lyrics are so good, why... why is he so ruthless, it took three days to kill a person? It's too scary!"

Since the news that Liu Wei spent three days killing people reached Li Yu's ears, he couldn't calm down. He felt that Liu Wei was really terrible. Against such a person, he had no confidence and was very disturbed, so He sent someone to call several ministers in the court.

These ministers are basically people from the main peace faction, such as Xi Gui, and of course, Zhang Ji.

"My dear friends, tell me what should we do?"

Li Yu said, looking at the ministers in front of him, Xigui saw this, and quickly got up: "Master, that Liu Wei is not only cruel by nature, but also a good fighter. It is not good for such a person to fight against, so we must not provoke him, it is better not to fight this battle, we only need to send heavy troops to guard the border with Song Dynasty."

This is exactly Li Yu's idea. Wouldn't it be good to guard the country and be a carefree ruler in Southern Tang?

When Xigui said this, other people followed suit. Only Zhang Ji did not speak. Today Li Yu called so many ministers from the main peace faction in the court. Obviously, in Li Yu's heart, he is inclined to the main peace. If he speaks, You must be drowned by the spit of those ministers present.

He is a smart man, he knows when to say something, and he doesn't think there is anything scary about these ministers, they are just talking quickly, if he wants, as long as he takes out what Han Xizai left for him , they can change their words immediately.

The battle with Da Song is a must, but he has to wait until he successfully develops the refined salt.

This is Zhang Ji's philosophy of doing things, so even if he did not agree with the views of these peace ministers, he did not refute them.

After the ministers said this, Li Yu was a little relieved. With the support of these ministers, it would be okay if he didn't send troops to the Song Dynasty.

The monarchs and ministers discussed this for an hour before finally dispersing, and after these ministers left, Xiao Zhou rushed over immediately: "My lord, are you done?"

Li Yu nodded, and hugged Empress Xiao Zhou into his arms: "Queen, don't worry, those ministers have been persuaded by the widow, and when they find a good time, the widow will announce in the court hall that they will no longer send troops to the Song Dynasty. In this way, You and I can also be a happy couple in Jinling City."

The news that Li Yu summoned the ministers of the Central Court and the School of Peace in the Royal Study Room quickly reached Li Congshan's ears.

At that time, Li Congshan was discussing with some people from the main combat faction how to annex and how to attack the Song Dynasty.

When they heard the news, they were immediately angry.

"Shuzi can't conspire with him!"

"The lord of the country is giving me the land of Southern Tang to others!"

After everyone talked like this, Li Congshan said again: "Damn it, the Lord must have been frightened by Liu Wei's rumors, saying that he is a murderous maniac, killing people like hemp, etc. I think these are just Liu Wei's rumors." The taste was spread deliberately to frighten the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty."

"What the prince said is very true, but now the king is scared, what do you think we should do?"

Li Congshan frowned, and smiled after a long time: "It's okay, since the lord didn't want to send troops because he was afraid of Liu Wei, then let's let the lord see that Liu Wei is not scary, and their soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are not scary either."

After everyone listened, they quickly asked, "What does the lord mean?"

"Fight the willow smell."

"How to hit?"

"In a few days, I will take the Southern Tang literary test, and the military test will be over. At that time, a group of talents will surely emerge. We might as well use this as an excuse to compete with the Great Song Dynasty. As long as people from the Southern Tang Dynasty Those who can defeat their Great Song, do you think the lord will still be afraid of Great Song?"

"This……"

Everyone hesitated for a while, Li Congshan smiled slightly: "I know what you are worried about. You think Liu Wei's poems are supernatural, and no one of us scholars in the Southern Tang Dynasty can beat him, right?"

Everyone nodded: "Yes, we have all heard the poems of Liu Wei. The magpie bridge fairy and the water tune song head can be said to be the masterpieces of Qixi Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. It is difficult to surpass them. I am afraid that even we The king can't even make such a word."

Li Congshan didn't take it seriously, and said: "It's okay, Liu Wei is good at Qixi Ci and Mid-Autumn Ci, but he may not be good at other words. Our lord is best at Huajian Ci. Let them compare Huajian Ci at that time." , As for the martial arts competition, can't I find someone with outstanding martial arts in Southern Tang?"

After listening to Li Congshan's words, everyone felt relieved and said yes again and again.
-
On the fourth day after Liu Wei's three-day murder ended, someone in the capital of Song Dynasty had already learned about it.

The first one to know was Zhao Kuangyin, because it was a memorial sent by Liu Wei.

Liu Wei told the story of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who were killed in the Southern Tang Palace, and the subsequent investigations also explained one by one that Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to start a war with the Southern Tang in such a hurry. After reading Liu Wei's memorial, this Only then did I finally feel relieved.

As for Liu Wei's murder and deterrence, I don't care too much about it. Zhao Kuangyin is the emperor who fell from his horse. Killing people and drinking blood is just a common thing. How could Liu Wei kill a few disobedient rebels? ?

King Wei, Pan Mei and others also received the news. They were a little shocked after receiving the news. They never expected that someone in the mission team would actually want to provoke disputes between the two countries.

Although this was very much in line with King Wei's wishes, these were not things his people did, so he quickly realized that there was still a force in the entire mission team that wanted to make money secretly.

The same is true for King Jin, and the first person that King Jin suspected was King Wei.

From what happened a few days ago, the King of Jin felt that the King of Wei wanted to disturb the situation and seize the throne from it. Now that something like this happened in Jinling, he naturally wanted to doubt the King of Wei. If it wasn’t for the King of Wei, who would want Nantang Fighting with Da Song?
There are many, but the king of Jin thought of King Wei first.

Su also had doubts, because he really couldn't think of anyone other than King Wei who had such thoughts. Of course, Northern Han and Liao were not counted, because they couldn't insert spies into the mission team at all.

Chen Chen was very angry when he learned that his people had failed in the Southern Tang Dynasty. He never thought that his people would be exposed. How could this be possible?Then Liu Wei is a god and man, so he can find out if he hides such a secret?
And when he was angry, Chen Chen was also shocked by the cruelty of Liu Wei's murder. He Chen Chen thought he was a very cruel person, but he had never killed a person for three days. fear.

But he, Chen Chen, is not a person who knows to be afraid, and he also knows that as long as those main combat factions in the Southern Tang Dynasty still retain their strength, and his people are not all discovered, then a big battle between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty is inevitable. Yes, at that time, he can take the opportunity to seize the imperial power.

The power in this world is based on rotation. Then Zhao Kuangyin has been emperor for more than ten years, and the feng shui has been rotated. It is time to talk about him and Chen Chen.
